Wayne;
I have a dewheater device from scopestuff. It is powered by a small lead
acid battery by a cigarette lighter plug. I have a battery that was
originally meant for a riding lawn mower, it is about half the size of a
car battery. There are several heater strips that plug into a set of
female plugs and then warm up. The heater strips are held in place with
velcro.
I have not used it often, but the four or five times that I have, it does
a good job and keeps the dew off the objective of the refractor or an
eyepiece. I think I will have to break it out for this New Moon run.
And, really work at keeping the battery charged.
Take Care;
Steve Coe
